Woody is one lucky little bird to have landed in the home of Maureen and Al Z who belong to the Parrot Club of Manitoba. This picture was taken at the club's largest annual display at Oak Hammock Marsh - just north of the City of Winnipeg.

Lovebirds make wonderful pets, especially if handfed and handled frequently when young birds. Handfeeding alone is not enough - it is the handling that makes them tame, loving and trusting.

I have been lucky enough to have had several lovebirds over the years and successfully hatched (well the parent birds actually hatched them) and raised many beautiful babies. They are a joy to handfeed and it is amazing watching them grow into beautiful, tame adult birds.

If you have a lovebird, this would be a great treat for him or her.

A couple of books on Lovebirds would be this great Lovebird Atlas or the little e-book that I wrote.
